It would be hard for one company to develop a proprietary and a open source runtime.

The big company that should really look at Mono is Nokia... Mono will likely be better than Qt in providing a portable runtime for mobile applications. Qt and Mono would go great together on the Desktop too(the current bindings kind of suck). I actually don't see how Windows Phone ever takes off unless 1) They start allowing native code on their phones 2) Mono becomes extremely popular as a cross phone runtime.

Another company I wish that would take a look at mono is VMWare(who bought out Spring)...

WP7 allows native code on the phone for handset manufacturers, including Nokia. Or are you talking about app developers?
